黄原胶（英语：Xanthan gum，音译作三仙胶），俗称玉米糖胶、汉生胶、山羊胶，是一种糖类（葡萄糖、蔗糖、乳糖）经由野油菜黄单孢菌发酵产生的复合多糖体。在美国，它通常是经由玉米淀粉所制造。 黄原胶又称黄胶、汉生胶，黄单胞多糖，是一种由假黄单胞菌属发酵产生的单孢多糖，由甘蓝黑腐病野油菜黄单胞菌以碳水化合物为主要原料，经好氧发酵生物工程技术，切断1，6-糖苷键，打开支链后，在按1，4-键合成直链组成的一种酸性胞外杂多糖。1952年由美国农业部伊利诺斯州皮奥里尔北部研究所分离得到的甘蓝黑腐病黄单胞菌，并使甘蓝提取物转化为水溶性酸性胞外杂多糖而得到的。

Xanthan gum (/ˈzænθən/) is a polysaccharide secreted by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris, used as a food additive and rheology modifier, commonly used as a food thickening agent (in salad dressings, for example) and a stabilizer (in cosmetic products, for example, to prevent ingredients from separating). It is composed of pentasaccharide repeat units, comprising glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in the molar ratio 2:2:1. It is produced by the fermentation of glucose, sucrose, or lactose. After a fermentation period, the polysaccharide is precipitated from a growth medium with isopropyl alcohol, dried, and ground into a fine powder. Later, it is added to a liquid medium to form the gum.
